Compact rooms, sensible kit
Rooms run from 16 to 19 square metres, so they're compact but well organised. Each has air conditioning, a private bathroom with a bidet and hairdryer, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and a socket near the bed. Slippers and free toiletries come standard.
Terrace and pool table
The shared space centres on a terrace and a pool table, with a bar on site that keeps the place sociable in the evenings. Organised bar crawls run for an additional charge. It's a casual setup that suits travellers who want company rather than seclusion.
Water sports on site
